"The P4M-RS350 itself is a complete
package that gives you the ability to upgrade the graphics when
you have the money to do so. It carries competent performance and
enough onboard solutions that voids the fact there is only 3 PCI
slots available."

"MaxVision gives complete engagement in developing products to be
synonymous with quality, innovation and creativity. Full delivery
of MP3 players, USB Pen drives and Flash Memory cards are kicked
off and shipped to the shelves of their global customers. "

" We have to say a clean, neat, tidy
and stylish mobile IDE hard drive enclosure and very lightweight
is the Vantec NexStar 2 which would not look out of place on any
desk. And as the Vantec NexStar 2 is made of plastic there is no
chance of it damaging your desk or whatever you use to transport
it in."

"My first
impression with this OCLabs B3 PlexyBlock is that it is very small
when compared with other water cooling water blocks out in the
market. This B3 PlexyBlock sized only at 50 x 50 x 25mm, without
the barbs. It is is just slightly bigger than the AMD64 processor.
The whole block looks like chrome while the lid was made of
acrylic. This has got the be the shinniest looking water block in
the streets! Besides the PlexyBlock, OCLabs also has Monoblock for
their water block products, but the MonoBlock doesn't come with
the acrylic lid. You might want to get this kind of water block
for your next modding project, wouldn't you?"Review

New Product Scythe NCU-2005 Fanless Heatsink
@ Scythe

"The famous
NCU-2000 fanless heatsink (new model name is NCU-2005) is now
available with LGA775 socket compatibility and a 120mm optional
fan mounting clips! This new version is an ideal fanless heatsink
for anyone who is looking to build a silent PC system!"

" We have been
using Thermaltake power supplies for some years now and have found
them to do precisely what they say they do, work and work well and
reliably and so does this Thermaltake PurePower 680w. What more can
we ask."

“Ok,
sounds good. Though first a sad story, well kind of. I had my trusty DG824M
since July 2003, to replace my DG814. I was planning to upgrade any week now,
but then, for no reason, the router died. Just like that. Luckily, with a 3
year warranty, I feel a little better, and have registered and emailed netgear
about this issue. I bought the latest DG834GT, because I love the way netgear
routers look. By far the best looking, most boring part of a PC. Well done
netgear for this. This review is not a big tech review of how well the router
does something fancy, but a mini review, to show what u get, does it work, and
is it good. Nothing more.”

"Computer
lighting has really evolved as it has become more popular. There's regular
cathodes, UV, LED light strips, "bubble" light strips, LED fans,
cathode lit fans, and on and on. Today we're taking a look at a Dual Colour UV
LED Fan made by ATake. The unusual thing about this fan is that the blades are
lit one colour and the body of the fan is lit another colour! Very neat
effect."

"You've
got the most bangin' system on the block, with every possible
component spiced up but you cheesed out on the RAM - you aren't the
only one who's done it. The quality of a computer's memory is a very
important factor in system performance, so why bottle neck? Since we
all can't afford the best stuff on the market, Crucial has stepped
up to the plate with their newest Ballistix Memory series. One lucky
winner will be able to take home 1gigabyte of Crucial Ballistix
Tracer PC4000 memory!"

Choosing a graphics card,
ATI or Nvidia year end guide.

@
a1-electronics.net

"2004 seems to have flow past rather quick and we are here
again doing our choosing & buying a graphics card. We have
tried to simplify the now rather extensive list of available cards
that are presently available but hope that our guide gives you the
basic information you need to make your choice and have focused on
ATI & Nvidia."

"With
the arrival of the new era of FPS pumping, quality enhancing,
performance boosting video cards came the ASUS AX800Pro/TVD. Since
the release of the ATI R420, and Nvidia 6800 GPU's, there has been
rivalry between the two company's to produce the fastest graphics
card on the market. With features such as ATI's Smoothvision HD,
Smartshader HD, Videoshader D, Hyper Z HD, and 3Dc, ATI is
continuing to push the bounds of graphics card technology in the
21st century! Read the review to find out more!"

"
Maybe it is just us but this Vantec 11-in-1 mobile memory card
reader seems to us to be a very handy little device for just about
everybody. All it needs is a thin cloth bag to protect it a
little. But that is being fussy."Review

Front X-tension @ Voodooreviews

"I would
recommend this product to anyone in a situation like
mine, where they would benefit from front port access. With the
wide variety
of ports available, there is bound to be a right combination for
you."

"
We have to say that it is for the writer a delight using the keys
on this Thermaltake Tsunami Dream keyboard compared to the
expensive cordless one he normally uses. Their touch when tying is
both soft, firm and positive. The keyboard is steady and stiff
compared to the one he normally uses which is flexible and was
expensive."Review

"Now
we and you are able to remove our old fan controller and memory
card reader and install this single modern Thermaltake HardCano 13
and with so many different colours to choose from there is bound
to be one that suits the computer case."

"The
Digital Media Pro keyboard from Microsoft is their latest wired
keyboard. It offers very sleek looks, coupled with a wide variety
of customizable hot keys. There is a new feature making it's debut
on this keyboard, and that is the new Zoom Slider! The zoom slider
is a feature that can really enhance computer usage by adding a
function people use all the time, now at the touch of a button.
Read on!"

"They don't
run at the same higher speeds of Corsair's higher performance DDR
memory but then again they cost a lot less. Seems to us that this
Corsair PC3200 DDR400 VS1GBKIT400 memory kit fits the bill for
most computer users."

"You can see from our graph the Thermaltake Silent 775 gives
excellent cooling performance and continues to hold its position
as the heat is increased even up to our 170 watts of heat. When
you consider how quiet the fan is (21dBA) at 2,500 rpm compared to
the top two heatsinks shown here ..............."

"When
you make the switch to water cooling you're going to ask yourself
this question: do I want to buy a kit from a company or build a (DIY)
Do It Yourself kit? Not only to DIY kits give you the chance to
hand pick each part you want, but later on new components can be
added to the loop and parts can be upgraded easily."Review

"
So the beauty of this EverCool WC-301 Mini water cooled system is
that it is a very neat, stylish and compact unit which does not
take up any room as it is so small and yet is more than capable of
having its cooling performance increased by the simple addition of
radiators being fitted inside your computer case."Review

Den 12V-D4 Pump Review @ DreamWare Computers

"The pump is a
very important choice in buying watercooling parts. Make the wrong
choice and you may be stuck with a poor performing, noisy and
maybe leaky pump, trust me! If you make the right choice, the
Danger Den DD12V-D4, then you will have a high performing and
silent solution."Review

Thermaltake’s latest and greatest on the system monitoring front
is the Hardcano 12. It combines the sleek look of a car stereo
deck with the powerful control of a Digital Doc system to create a
highly useful and undeniably attractive system monitoring
unit...This product has been such a great seller lately that even
resellers are on backorder as ThermalTake is unable to create them
fast enough to meet the customer demand...
